What is a registered agent?

Registered agent is a term many business owners have never heard before, and to learn that a registered agent is required when you incorporate a business or register to transact business in another state (foreign qualify) often comes as a surprise.
The registered agent is responsible for important legal and tax documents on behalf of incorporated companies, such as:

Service of Process—sometimes called Notice of Litigation—which initiates a lawsuit

Important state mail, such as annual reports or statements

Tax documents sent by the state’s department of taxation

The registered agent must have a physical address (not a P.O. Box) in the state of incorporation or qualification and must be available at that address during normal business hours.

With Signature Filing, you are notified by email of any Service of Process that has been served to Signature Filing as your agent, can access it online, and can easily.
